What Cookut does

Cookut is the trading brand of Société Cofarim, a privately held French SASU headquartered in Brignais (Lyon metropolitan area), operating with a lean team of 1–10 employees and a €100,000 share capital. The company designs and sells PFAS-free cookware, ovenware, and a broad range of kitchen utensils and beverage accessories for the French consumer market, with additional D2C localization in English, Italian, German, Spanish, and Dutch.

The core product architecture rests on two proprietary technology pillars. The first is the SteelGreen 3-ply stainless steel construction used in the Merveilleuse line, which layers a nickel-free 21/0 ferritic stainless steel cooking surface over a recycled aluminum core for uniform heat distribution, reinforced with copper and titanium for induction compatibility and thermal responsiveness. The second is a mineral anti-adherent coating derived from vitrified silica (sand and water), produced without petroleum-based organic substances, and free of PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, nickel, cadmium, and BPA. The Merveilleuse range additionally features a detachable click-in handle system that supports compact storage and one-handle-multi-piece usage, sold as a complementary accessory at €34.90.

Cookut monetizes via direct-to-consumer e-commerce (cookut.com, built on PrestaShop, processed via Stripe with 3x/4x installment options) and a French retail channel of 2,000+ independent resellers, supplemented by a referral program capped at €500 per referrer. Pricing spans €12.90 accessories to €259.90 cookware bundles, with free domestic shipping above €45 and a 30-day return policy. Sub-brands (Incroyable, Fabuleuse, Merveilleuse, Formidable, Shakers, Raclette à la Bougie) segment the catalog by use case and price point, while the Cookut & Co recipe community drives top-of-funnel content marketing and product-led engagement. No revenue, funding, or enterprise-customer disclosures are publicly available.
